Subscribe to regular market updates. From extra-wide frontage to an expansive 2-level interior and secure off-street parking, this architect-designed and largely rebuilt as new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom period home is a size surprise where an architect-led transformation has crafted a substantial, flexible and low maintenance sanctuary. A quiet streetscape and north-facing façade reveal an impressive entrance with polished blackbutt floors, double-glazing, tall ceilings and extensive fitted storage, that continue throughout, leading to a versatile front bedroom with built-in robes and possible external access making it easily adaptable for work-from-home use, beside a big central bathroom (deep bath, frameless rain shower, stone-topped vanity) and a laundry area. Further accommodation is situated on the first-floor with 3 sizable bedrooms (with built-in robes) complemented by a clever 2-way bathroom (twin vanity, heated towel rail) that functions as a stylish ensuite to the main bedroom that also offers a walk-in robe. The rear of the home expands into a huge, full-width living and dining domain, that defies its single-fronted origins with loads of space and light creating rare family comfort and flexibility, by a large contemporary kitchen fitted with top-line Bosch appliances, breakfast bench and a walk-in pantry/appliance garage while finished with stone surfaces and soft-close cabinetry. Sliding doors connect seamlessly to a covered timber deck for relaxed alfresco entertaining, that easily extends into a private paved courtyard that, in turn, delivers secure off-street parking for 2 vehicles behind a remote-control double roller door. Other features include zoned central heating and cooling, video intercom, alarm system, CCTV surveillance, LED lights, copious storage throughout and a rainwater tank (pump). Comprehensively renovated, the result is a home of impressive proportions that is unmistakably modern for an outstanding lifestyle in a prized city-edge pocket within effortless walking distance to schools including, Yarra River parkland and trails, the Convent Arts precinct, local cafes, Johnston Street shops, Gahan Reserve, Fitzroy, Collingwood and the train station.
